How to make your own Rheostat for less than $7! Detailed instructions.

I have mine set up to where they can take two UTH's each. I hope to set up an actual thermostat or two on my rack as soon as it is complete.
 
I know this is an old thread, but I just did this =] works great! Thanks so much to the poster for putting this on here! Saved me a decent amount =]
 
Just a reminder, there is a copy of this thread in the DIY subforum and IMO, that is the thread that should be bumped as people looking to make their own stuff are more likely to look there.

Just curious if anyone has tried the second design, and how it has worked! Thanks for all the great compliments guys.

I just made one tonight. Just seeing how low the temps get as I adjust it.
Here is mine.

Thank you so much! I had made a rheostat in college but that was 24 years ago (where did the time go?). I bought a new dimmer switch but there was a ground wire I didn't have on the old dimmer. Then I read 'don't worry about the green wire'. My memory came back, the teacher had us cut it off. Anyway, a little different after that cause I needed it for a foot pedal that controlled my Foredom hanging drill motor. But, point being, it was your instructions that turned ?? Into !!! Love the electrical tape bandaid, put a smile in my day for sure!
